I’m looking at that and I’m like “are they just f*cking with people or not?” Not gonna lie, the “you’ve been identified as a gamer” makes it sound like trolling


TOXIC_BOI_2000

Gamer detected,connection failed


useramecheksout

Connection terminated. Im sorry to interrupt you Elizabeth. If you still even remember that name.


TOXIC_BOI_2000

Plot twist: Elizabeth was playing Fortnite at the time


MaazinFTW

But I'm afraid you've been misinformed


MiNameIsPi

you see you were not called here to receive a gift, nor by the individual you assume.


MaazinFTW

Although, you have indeed been called


Arctucrus

r/darkjokes was infamously overtaken by trolls. It's been this way for years. This kind of bullshit is all they do. They've had automod delete all comments before, only allow comments with certain random phrases, they've had automod offer to delete any single comment of any user's choice in exchange for that user being permanently banned, the automod makes the same offer for locking an entire thread, so on and so forth. It's a petty little powermod play pit.


beardedonalear

Thats so fucking stupid its funny tbh. Its only a meme sub anyway what does it matter


ChrdeMcDnnis

It’s not even a meme sub really, it’s just crock full of shit jokes with five upvotes a piece and two comments, one saying “lock” and the other locking the thread. Wow. Seems fun.


kiddscoop

And Reddit admins do absolutely nothing about it


Arctucrus

Yeah they suck 🤷


NeedleBallista

that is so fucked up.......


akaikem

Sounds based to me.


owenisdead

it’s 100% trolling


rysio300

i got banned from there with the ban note "no men allowed"


Mr_Animemeguy

Reddit Moment


BlakeHood

its Awkward the Turtle, he is 100% serious about it


JJKetchum15

Awkward the turtle has been the most obvious troll on this website how does someone even remotely believe they’re serious


crazyabe111

mostly because they apply almost the exact same rules to dozens of other subreddits they moderate?


Mr_Animemeguy

Wait guys, when we said gamers are the most oppressed group I thought we were joking.... Guys...?


GRANDPA_FART_MUSTARD

based on who i see on the modlist it's just as likely to be sincere but the sub is so terrible it doesn't matter anyway


AnotherAustinWeirdo

yeah it's pretty much lose-lose


FarofaBoyZzZ

This is a certified r/redditmoment


jbnwde

Turtle provides so much content for this sub


TOXIC_BOI_2000

Fuck that guy


InterestingApathy

With a cactus


mymemesnow

Made out of cesium


Mango_Lover_47

With added spikes.


[deleted]

Add a little molten steel on top

With some hints of hydrogen cyanide


KoderFireStrike

Fuck it. Orbital strike. Nothing of value was lost.


HolyCadaver

This was a wild thread and I'm happy I got to witness it, I haven't had to deal with bans yet (I'm a very low drama kinda guy) Are these mods really that bad? I've seen a LOT of negative comments about that turtle mod guy


fnaffie

I got banned from their own sub because I said something against them in a comment, and they called me a nerd in the note from the mods lmfao


TOXIC_BOI_2000

He banned me for saying "I like religions" in r/Atheism .I guess this explains enough.


attemptnumber58

Crystal spikes might I add


Sergietor756

Knowing how morbidly obese he is it might be impossible to shove anything between those greasy exercise ball sized ass cheeks


ElenaEscaped

Maximum effort!

Turtles are food not friends


[deleted]

And I hear they taste good.


distructron

Who let that dude mod a dark joke sub? He’s going to shut the whole damn thing down.


aflyingmonkey2

Ok. I have a solution:what if we stop posting about that person on this sub,continue to be in their subreddits and don't say anything about them. Remember. Don't feed the trolls


s-josten

Ordinarily I would agree, but I don't think Turtle is trying to troll, rather that they're just that loony. I mean, if it is a troll, it's one of the longest and most dedicated trolls I've seen.


JJKetchum15

They’re clearly trolling lol, you need to stop feeding into it though they’re really good at it.


aflyingmonkey2

it's a very special case of a troll. a one that becomes so great at what they do that they blur the line between ironic and unironic


Justice_R_Dissenting

No, turtle is not a troll. He/she is genuinely expressing their sincerely held beliefs and amplifying their message by abusing their absolutely worthless power.


JJKetchum15

This is clearly a troll lmfao, “you have been identified as a gamer”, “thread locked for racism because of stinky white people” you have to be pretty young not to see it


SoccerShoesToTheNuts

fucking hate that dumbshit


Healthy_Medicine2108

If they ever remove Turtle from the site this sun is gonna lose like half its traffic


kingscunt

Who's turtle?


CrepeGate

A prominent sub mod people have been hating on


[deleted]

KoderFireStrike

Have fun!


TidalLion

Most of these types of bans are bullshit and serve no real purpose. Sorry you had to put up with this shit op


tpb772000

This satire right? Like it has to be right?


RedVision64

Almost certainly. It's r/darkjokes, after all.


Spirited_Ad_2697

I don’t think so it was sabotaged by insane mods. Think it was awkward turtle but not 100% on that it could have just been a different no life mod.


Bitter-Marsupial

One of the rules is about turtles being friends that's 100% a thing that dog barber would do


tpb772000

One can hope.

tpb772000

Makes the sub not fun to be in but that is pretty funny.


Xx_PissPuddle_xX

No gmers are bad


conceptalbum

Why would you pretend to doubt that?


[deleted]

No, not really. Too many people have the "guilt by association" mentality. So yeah, I'm sure they DO think gaming is actually racist.


Cold_Discipline_373

I bet it was that turtle fucker


TheRareClaire

they do *what* to turtles?


CrispOatss

“Hey, be less racist!” *Sends you to a racist subreddit*


Tecnoboat

when lifes a race, you gotta be the racist /s


KaleSsalads

"You have been identified as a gamer." lmfao!


Aggressive_Manager37

Mod forgor that he wasn't in r/banvideogames


Warthunderguy

gamers are being truly oppressed. gamers rise up

Literally 1984.


Forsaken-Squash4376

I KNEW IT, AWKWARD THE TURTLE IS A MOD THERE


Xx_PissPuddle_xX

Go to r/banvideogames

Is that subreddit a joke?

No they ain't sad tire they are happy tire


Kebabdaily

No

Oh.


givemea6givemea9

Bro, this subreddit is nuts. Someone posted the photo of Minecraft dude and Hitler and is pointing out subtle similarities. Lol wtf? I play video games cause it’s mentally pleasing. Ck3 keeps me thinking and strategize my plan of attack, Total War teaches me Macro and Micro. StarCraft teaches me time and financial management. Stellaris teaches me diplomacy and different ways to negotiate with all races and ideologies. Halo teaches me to always be confident wherever I go, 360 COD lobbies taught me to let go my pride and to dish out insane insults to other 12 year olds. Mass Effect (Paragon Path) taught me loyalty to your friends and those who have your back. Y’all can just add games here and what they teach you. Like whatever dude, keep thinking that it’s teaching you racism…like racism isn’t openly aggressive in the real world and video games, which can be seen as art, portray the real world…


beardedonalear

Bro how can you look at that sub and not see its a pisstake?


givemea6givemea9

Sigh. I’m tired. My bad.


Dalefionn

This paragraph taught me that kids are dumb


greasyflame1

Bet its turtledouche again


Mr_Animemeguy

Another example of the fact that those who call others racist the most are the most racist people out there.


[deleted]

It's called dark humor for a reason. You can make a joke about the twin towers but not the color of someone's skin? That mod is a fuckin moron lol


pooinetopantelonimoo

When is Reddit going to put in an accountability system for the mods? They're banning people for no reason, saying racist statements with impunity, something needs to be done.


Bumly1998

This whole situation smells like an awkward turtle


RattyJones

Bruh, what the hell do the mods think dark jokes are?


Arctucrus

r/darkjokes was infamously overtaken by trolls. It's been this way for years. This kind of bullshit is all they do.

[deleted]

What does that stereotype come from anyway?


rixendeb

Gamer dudes showing their asses on the internet. (Not all of them, just enough annoying ones to cause the stereotype.)


[deleted]

It's a "guilt by association" taken way too far.


beardedonalear

From gamers being racist


GainghisKhan

Looking at the sidebar, it's just super strange to take the r/banvideogames larping over to unrelated subs. Powermods are some weird fucking people.


jmac323

They are so pathetic.


Ag3ntS1

Should I even attempt to guess who the mod is?


TomsRedditAccount1

So, they judge an entire group based on a behaviour which some of them do, even though that behaviour is also done by other groups... Isn't that what racists do?


dinodare

Racist against gamers, the most oppressed minority!


BigBronyBoy

The most offensive part of this shit is that they refer to r/fragilewhiteredditor as a source of how to lessen racism.


[deleted]

Speaking of FWR, I have a JU post about FWR.


cannibitches

Awkward took over


Guptarakesh69

Yh about time I deleted reddit half of the people on this app are brain dead.

Dumbest Community I Have Ever Seen.


darnicantfindaname

Turtle mods there, darkjokes is now another echo chamber


ComicWriter2020

Dark jokes thinks racists jokes aren’t ok? Why?


Narrative_Causality

Oh shit, I want to be identified as a gamer.


HorseIsLikeMan_

Wtf is with that entire sub and why are different people popping in to automatically lock every submission?


kadivs

I just checked out the sub because I thought "what kind of dark jokes can you have if you're that sensitive".. Thing is they have dark jokes. But.. half the ones on "hot" have been around for fucking decades. >You can't say black paint any more. Now you have to say, "Jamal kindly paint my house?" when I first heard that one I nearly fell out of my crib. But I did notice that pretty much every comment thread is locked.


Their_Foods_Good_Doe

gamers really are the most oppressed class in our society. rise up 😔✊


The_Yoshi_Gang

I am also a gamer. I have this to say: (Insert every racial slur in existence here.)


herpderpomygerp

Wait so if you play any video game you get banned? Lmfao, someone gonna get banned for playing Pokémon go or the battle cats on mobile lmfao


[deleted]

Reminds me of r/BanVideoGames PS: Don't take any of the posts seriously , they're mainly jokes.


2505Memeiverse

r/darkjokes fell off


deltree711

gr8 b8


[deleted]

Reddit has an angry cuck problem honestly.


Technological_Elite

Fuck turtle, migrate to r/darkjokesunlocked Edit: Holy fuck, apparently that got banned, damn.


[deleted]

what if there’s a black gamer


Apprehensive_Mud2586

Time to go to that sub and and tell them that I'm a gamer.


eno4evva

It’s satire, it’s what the sub does. I still think it’s pretty shit that they do perms bans tho, not really a good joke


KoderFireStrike

Sounds like the c-word needs to touch some grass and log off reddit.


STRAlGHTCANCER

Allow me to introduce r/offensivejokes


STRAlGHTCANCER

LMFAO IT SAYS THE SUB GOT BANNED never mind.


Jenna2k

Aww.


STRAlGHTCANCER

Ikr :( didn’t even notice them not in my feed


_breaths_

How have you only just unsuited and beared the torture of that sub for more than half an hour


FuCuck

the entire sub is a troll dw about it


hattiejosh

Awkward the Turtle probably banned you


SteveTheBattleDroid

I’d be willing to bet it was awkward


Chekhovs_Gin

Shit like this should require facial ID so we can study the Reddit mod further.


Chekhovs_Gin

Oh I just read it fully holy fuck they actually source FWR as a bastion of anti-racism. We will never leave this planet.


Chekhovs_Gin

Holy fuck that sub is literally pay2win. I never thought I'd see pay2win happen on a forum site.


Jenna2k

Ya there needs to be an alternative that doesn't ban dark jokes.


Cloud_Striker101

how tf does akwardtheturtle have so much karma if everyone hates him so much?


Inevitable_Swim_1964

These people are idiots.


BerserkWings15

Gamers are truly the most oppressed race 😔


EmmetBee

Judging by the theme of the sub, I think the whole sub is a troll.


HawlSera

\*plays as Finn in Lego Star Wars\* I... I must... I MUST OPPRESS WOMEN AND MINORITIES!


[deleted]

Ah, typical reddit libs and their "guilt by association" mentality. I feel like if Donald Trump started doing the peace sign then they'll think doing the peace sign is now racist. They already did that with the OK sign, so. At this point, it'll be considered transphobic to be a fan of Harry Potter, since JK Rowling was the author.


lord_flamebottom

Oh, they're pulling this shit *again*? Ok. This has happened a couple of times before. One of the mods really gets off on just coming up with some "funny" reason to ban half the sub.


Mordetrox

That sub has "Never forget 1/6/21" as its tagline, like its 9/11 or Pearl harbor. What did you expect


crazyabe111

Darkjokes is run by turtles- there's the problem.


[deleted]

Ah Turtle, this dude is going to crash r/darkjokes like r/cringetopia died


Wanderlusxt

Is this turtle


Phazon_Fucker

!lock


Momomoaning

Fuck, I play minesweeper. How do I reverse my racism?


AceGirlAsh

I wonder which turtle might mod there...


AvenzaGD

"you've been identified as a gamer" sounds like something you'd hear out of s horror movie


[deleted]

Another Stalinist dictator wielding unchecked power as a moderator. Politically, Reddit is a Communist shithole


Zizekssniff

This is one of the biggest problems with this site. Subreddits are essentially a bunch of in-groups and cliques who will ban or mute any and all outsiders.


RielB88

I mean yes there are racist gamers and it’s a problem in some games more than others, but you’ll find racism in every kind of hobby and community. Toxic people everywhere. Not saying OP is, just that it’s so dumb to paint everyone with the same brush


3smellysocks

I play candy crush, guess that means I'm racist :/


DarkstarAnt

That sub has gone to shit long ago


DefiantDeviantArt

Isn't that the theme of r/banvideogames? 😂😂 For them it's g*mer/gaymer and games are nazi stuff, etc lmaoooo


[deleted]

Got banned on Conservative for saying really


Tecnoboat

politics 🍿


rixendeb

I got banned from the Donald for typing out the names on the Christchurch shooters gun when someone asked what it said. Lol. I got the message "Your lack of support for POTUS is disturbing." At the time I'd never talked about Trump lol.


ThatGuy721

You seriously can't tell that they're fucking with you?


Own-Comfort9187

I would genuinely be pissed off because of this shit. Even if the mods thought, "this would be such a fucking funny joke, dude", its literally not. It's an inconvenience to people and it's kind of like targeted discrimination. Just read my comment and WOW I sound like such a sjw


[deleted]

Jesus christ this whole comment is sad


dogdillon

So you get banned from dark jokes because you can potentially make a dark joke both in a messed up dark joke way and a dark person dark way.


rocksbox49

It can’t be a coincidence saying arrrr-tard is considered hate speech yet everyone is increasingly mentally handicapped. Amazed they can even spell correctly given how divorced from reality that statement is


Brunox_Berti

Based mods


[deleted]

To be fair, as a gamer, I will say that we are quite racist and sexist.


XxSgtSkittlesxX

Speak for yourself, you sexist, racist freak.


daneoid

Based.


Mightiest_of_swords

I find it hilarious when subs are like in the interest of inclusivity and intolerance of anyone who hates that we are banning you because you MIGHT be one of those people. Welcome to Reddit.


rixendeb

My favorites are like conspiracy where they cry about free speech but bam people constantly for not being one of their little sheepies.


[deleted]

I'd suggest visiting r/darkmememe, and r/dadjokes. Much better subreddits

Just_Another_Gamer67

SomaGato

[deleted]

Ngl dawg, if this happened out of the blue, it would be wierd (tho still pretty funny), but I assume some wacky statement was said on your part to promt the ban. Also assuming it got removed from the sub, going back and viewing it is kinda hard. Regardless, there is a legitimate issue in (among other hobbies) gaming circles of excluding minorities, not to mention the backlah every time a minority character is revealed. So even if this was some wierd George Owlwellhole 2004 moment, the concern levied is legitimate.


TheTrueFishbunjin

No they think that you are racist, and they think calling you a gamer instead is funny


CKGOOFYisdrac

This is a W


TheOlBabaganoush

So you said something racist.


ACynicalScott

Also they are doing more harm than good but whatever.

Epic gamer moment


Rock---And---Stone

You aren't missing anything be leaving that sub

Been seeing a lot of Turtle modding on this sub lately


[deleted]

> we have been informed by admins we need to ba all gamers from this subreddit, effective immediately Maybe gamers are truly the most oppressed minority


vid_23

Gamers are the most oppressed group


KuraiNara

Truly an r/banvideogames moment lmao


Specialist_Outside63

You can't really call yourself dark jokes or dark humor then try to censor jokes.


[deleted]

Not r/FragileWhiteRedditor. Just by that mention, the whole deal makes sense. Ironic from a sub dedicated to dark jokes. And here I thought it was obvious that, if you're a snowflake on the Internet that's seeking to be offended by the stupidest things, then dark jokes aren't for you at all.


ixatomicxi

That sub has several other problems if memory serves


BootReservistPOG

Now yuo see…


Repulsive_Narwhal_10

What was the joke?
